no where
dang i was just replying to another thread and all of a sudden i seen my molly go bazark and crazy flipping out then on his side on the sand like hes dead.... um wait he is dead.... he was just fine 5 mins ago, and now my jack is eating him.... gota take her out... so what is up with that??
 
well i cut her open and i found a small lil black circler thingy in her so is that normal??? shes still carrying eggsish type stuff so she isnt due to give birth for a while, hmmm what could cause the sudden death???
 
there wasnt much of an eggsack in there either. and i found 2 frys in the overflow, hmmmm ( well 3 but i fed some frys to my fish lastnite and one went into the overflow )
 
I honestly have no clue it sounds kinda like she was already hurt and those were her death throws or she had a heart attack? water is your ph, nitrates, nitrites, and amonia
 
dont have nitrite/rate tester but i do have a PH and ammonia tester by API. bout to do a 10-20 percent water change. will get back to you on the ammonia and PH in bout 30 mins to an hour
 
well if you arnt testing your nitrites (one of the main killers of fish in fish tanks) then that could very well be one of the reasons it died, you need and I mean NEED to go to your lfs and get a nitrite testing set (not the strips the drops) and if you can a nitrate tester too, unlike nitrates nitrites are much more deadly and harder to get out of the tank while nitrates can mostly be taken out by water changes.
 
well i was planning on getting a laptop this weekend BUT know my plans have changed... how much are nitrite testers by API??

and all my other fish are acting fine and show no sign of illness.. hmmm well ill update on the ph and ammonia after im done.
